Introducing Japan Review

Japan Review is a peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that publishes empirical and theoretical research on Japan and its place in the world.

Contributions range across the humanities and social sciences, from arts, linguistics, literature, religion, and culture, to anthropology, history, politics, economics, international relations, and law.

The journal welcomes submissions from both early-career and established scholars, and particularly looks to foster interdisciplinary and innovative methods.

Japan Review is published by the International Research Center for Japanese Studies (Nichibunken).

All journal content is fully Open Access, disseminated through platforms like J-Stage and JSTOR, and indexed by SCOPUS and Web of Science.
